The three winners have each received a £20 voucher to spend on books at local Peterborough bookseller The Reading Monster's Bookshop. in partnership with Usborne Books. Thank you so much to Marianne Ryan at the Reading Monster's Bookshop for supporting our competition. 

Marianne says "I think books should enlighten, educate and delight. If you are looking for the right book for your child, there are lots of ways I can help. You can buy online or, if you are interested in having an Usborne party or school event, you can enjoy additional benefits such as free delivery, exclusive special offers, discounts and even free books."
